Canadian Rumour Mill – January 16

Hello again! I am back from Mexico and shivering in the North. At least MMA is starting to wind back up in Canada this year. Good fights just make the winter go by faster.

By the way, who is the Canadian MMA hunk on the book cover in the spot where my picture usually goes? Answer is at the bottom.

Let’s hope Cory MacDonald’s appearance with the Kingston Provincial Court goes well tomorrow (Tuesday). The Bellator Middleweight, along with five other correctional officers, is facing charges of assault against an inmate on Oct 4th according to the local Kingston paper.

Rumor has it that Wreck MMA is having a rough time getting Brad Cardinal to accept a fight. If the two can’t come to terms on a contract, look for the promotion to strip him of the title. Oh oh!

Despite what El Dirte commented last time, I keep hearing that Joe Doerksen is set to return to action in March in Quebec. ;)

With Hybrid and Intinct MMA becoming bedfellows, rumor has it Joey Benoit has been in contact with another Gatineau area promoter. Could the MMA war of Quebec be coming to Gatineau and Amateur MMA?

Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford making his Bellator debut on April 27th at Casino Rama?

Wreck is also on the lookout for a potential opponent for Erin McDougall, any takers ladies?

Looks like John Fraser will need to win at least once more before the big show calls. Rumors are circulating that Wreck MMA wants their BW champ to face Josh Hill.

Speaking of that hunk Josh Hill, he made the sexy cover of a new book, Avenger’s Angel. hubba hubba
